Wow, I am kind of disappointed to see only 79 little Luthers running around.

Oh, dear... there were five baby boys actually named "Babyboy" last year.

Thanks for the link! Interesting stuff. Looks like there were less than 5 of one of my top names. Yay.

I had to comment on the Babyboy thing. In California, if you don't pick a name within 10 days, they automatically put the baby's name down as Baby Boy or Baby Girl ___ (last name). And then you have to go change it physically with the records office. The SSA doesn't count punctuation in the list, like dashes or apostrophes or spaces. So I'm thinking it was just parents who never officially changed the records? And Idk how many other states do that, so I'd have to think that counted for at least some of those.

So, it looks like my favorites will remain in seclusion for awhile. Now, if only Lucy would stop rising...

There were 18 girls named Zamzam last year.

I'm scrolling through the very, very bottom of this list, and I am seeing some truly horrendous misspellings and over-the-top word names. And then comes Zamzam. Someone please tell me that's an ethnic name.

I'm not sure how accurate the site is but Zamzam is apparently the name of a spring in Arabia.

Here's what it says about the name for a boy: Abu-Zamzam was the name of Al-Madini, a man of an early Islam, about him amusing enecdotes were told.

So I'm not crazy for liking Blaise, Reed & Jasper for girls!
Not surprised that nobody has named their daughter Fox.
No Pallas or Ibis, which I love for both genders.
There were 6 little girls named Maui! (but I only like it for boys)
